Chapter 3481: Destroyed In One Punch

After listening to the old men recount the tragedies, Lu Yin was reminded of a scene he had once seen in the Books of Destiny. It had been of him personally slaughtering the people of the Heavens Sect. He had been killing those dearest to him one after another. Seeing that had triggered such an intense pain in his heart that he had hardly been able to even breathe. Just imagining such an outcome had made him feel suffocated. The people of the Worryless Valley were living through that exact agony.

The three Revelation Elders knelt as one. "Third Boss, if you are willing, please assist our Revelation Domain in removing this darkness. We are willing to endure hell or high water for this, Third Boss. We will walk to our deaths without hesitation."

There was no response from Lu Yin. When the three old men lifted their heads, Lu Yin was already gone.

They exchanged glances, uncertain of whether this Third Boss would help them. However, they had no other options.

Even though the Spirit Nidus had a unified cultivation system and the Ascendant Hall ruled over the entire megaverse, the thirty-six domains were still divided. Even if this matter was reported to the Ascendant Hall, there would be no intervention, and the Revelation Sect would not receive any assisting resources either.

The thirty-six domains’ internal affairs needed to be handled internally.

If Lu Yin chose not to help, then the three Revelation Elders would be completely helpless to do anything about it. The killing intent they had sensed from the depths of the Worryless Valley had left them too terrified to do anything at all.

While the people of the Revelation Sect did not fear death, the old men refused to die without purpose.

Lu Yin had already left the Revelation Sect without anyone noticing his departure. He was on his way to the Worryless Valley.

He needed to verify what he had heard from the three Revelation Elders, but regardless of the truth, Lu Yin intended to deal with the Worryless Elder.

Capturing the Spirit Nidus’s experts would strengthen his Karmic Dao. If the captured people were virtuous, then they would be freed when Lu Yin returned to the Tianyuan Megaverse. If not, he would eliminate them.

Regardless, he was still reducing the number of experts in the Spirit Nidus. Why would he not do it?

Also, the truth was that Lu Yin had an even deeper purpose: his inner universe.

If he could create a true universe, what would prevent his captives from living in Lu Yin’s inner universe?

As a human who could create an inner universe, he wondered if it was possible that the megaverse he was currently roaming about in had similarly been created by another person.

The Revelation Sect claimed that the universe was a living organism. Lu Yin did not agree with this theory, but he did believe that there was far more to reality than what they could currently perceive. What they saw might only be the surface of things.

Much like the civilizations living in the Perennial World’s ponds, it was possible that the megaverses were just in another layer of isolation.

While still thinking of these things, Lu Yin arrived at the Worryless Valley.

The people living there indeed appeared to be quite joyful, and they smiled warmly at him. However, when Lu Yin’s domain swept across the region, he noticed the bloodstains in the dark corners and the horrifying scenes that occurred behind closed doors. Things were playing out exactly as the three Revelation Elders had described. People’s innocent smiles were spoiled by blood. The images that Lu Yin saw reminded him of his first visit to Aeternus Nation and the chilling sights that he had seen there.

The thought of corpse kings coexisting with humans was a complete fantasy. However, it would be simple for a corpse king to coexist with the people of the Worryless Valley, as they had been deprived of their human nature. In essence, both creatures were the same kind.

Lu Yin averted his gaze as he stepped forward. When his foot touched down, the entire Revelation Domain trembled.

Old Tao and the others immediately turned to stare into the distance.

What was that?

Inside the Revelation Sect, the three Revelation Elders moved out to stare in the Worryless Valley’s direction. Their excitement was palpable, as they knew that the Third Boss had made his move.

Further away, Zhan Qianguhou was still arguing with the Debater. Lu Yin’s observers had been completely surrounded and were unable to escape from the encirclement.

The Debaters demanded that Zhan Qianguhou admit that the universe was a living organism, but they had underestimated the young man’s persistence, which blazed as bright as a beacon.

As for the Debater, his determination was similarly unwavering, and his gaze was so resolute that people found it intimidating.

No one could leave. Not a single person.

No matter what sort of chaos unfolded elsewhere, there had to be a winner and a loser to the debate before anyone was allowed to leave.

In the Worryless Valley, the ground shattered beneath Lu Yin’s stomp. The valley collapsed.

One after another, cultivators raced out to attack Lu Yin. None of these individuals had lost their human nature.

Even so, a mere wave of Lu Yin’s hand sent everyone flying.

Beneath the Worryless Valley, an ancient pair of eyes opened and looked upward. The man up above appeared to be so young and youthful, and yet he also felt dangerous. There was no hesitation as a figure tore through the void and moved to escape. It was not the right time for the man to reveal himself, and he did not care why the young man had attacked the Worryless Valley. If the valley was destroyed, then so be it.

However, as the old man fled, the void twisted, and he soon discovered that it was impossible for him to leave.

The ancient eyes turned upwards again, just as Lu Yin looked down. "Worryless Elder?"

The Worryless Elder's eyes turned cold. Had someone come searching for him? No one should even be aware that he was still alive.

"And who might you be? If I have offended you in any way, I will offer my apologies."

Lu Yin took another step forward. "Come out and we’ll speak."

A terrifying force obliterated the ground and then continued to surge forward like a coiled dragon. As it shot towards the Worryless Elder, his expression changed. The suffocating pressure was causing the nearby space to tremble. What terrifying might! He entered the void to avoid the attack, but the ripples simply shot through the void without hindrance.

Suddenly, the Worryless Elder thought of someone.

Yu Shan!

Yu Shan was a disciple of the High Seraph, and he was also the person who had destroyed the Hundred Grasses Domain with a single comment.

The Worryless Elder had met Yu Shan before. The man was an impressive sequence powerhouse who was ranked second on the White Spirit List. He was also known for his impressive physical strength.

Ripples from that kind of power were not easy to counter.

Much like Yu Shan, the Worryless Elder’s attacker also possessed monstrous physical strength.

If that’s the case...

The Worryless Elder rose from underground, moving away from the ripples of power. The old man raised one hand towards Lu Yin. "Regardless of who you may be, I have done nothing to offend you. I do not wish to fight you."

With that, he threw a palm strike.

Lu Yin was caught off guard.

Is that Sit and Forget? No, it’s similar but there are distinct differences

.

Lu Yin was facing a comprehension technique. While it was similar to Sit and Forget in that the Worryless Elder’s attack could cause a person’s mind to go blank, his attack was far more powerful than Sit and Forget.

Lu Yin responded with a wave of his hand: Setting Sun.

As the setting sun descended, a twilight glow scattered across the region from the horizon.

Two comprehension techniques clashed above the Worryless Valley. The collision released a wave of power that few could even comprehend.

One technique attempted to make a target forget their past, while the other incinerated one’s knowledge of martial arts. Both were unfathomable powers.

However, the true contest was in the two men’s mastery of their comprehension techniques.

The Worryless Elder had not anticipated his young opponent to have also comprehended a comprehension technique, especially because of his youth. Bloodlust glinted in the old man’s eyes.

He’s so young. His mastery of his comprehension technique can’t possibly rival my own. He should be easy to crush.

Lu Yin had comprehended his Setting Sun after experiencing all of Wu Tian's knowledge of martial arts. This comprehension technique belonged to both Lu Yin and Wu Tian.

The Three Realms and Six Daos were the Origin Progenitor’s disciples, and they were some of the most powerful experts in the Tianyuan Megaverse. The only reason why some of them had not yet become Ortusers was because they had held themselves back at the behest of their master.

If not for suppressing their cultivation, the Three Realms and Six Daos would have long since exceeded the Origin realm and entered Dukkha.

When it came to mastery over his comprehension technique, Lu Yin was in no way inferior to the Worryless Elder.

However, that was not to say that Lu Yin surpassed the old man.

The two techniques clashed, and they ultimately canceled each other out.

A stalemate in their comprehension techniques far exceeded the Worryless Elder’s expectations. He continued to feel grave danger from the young man, and it even exceeded what the Worryless Elder had felt while fighting for the title of Seraph.

However, a fight to the death was not an option. It was not yet time for such things.

The Worryless Elder’s beard and white hair began to drift up. They grew and extended without end to cover the sky. Clearly, he was using some kind of battle technique.

Lu Yin raised a finger and used the Dao of One Heavens.

The endless white hair that had shrouded the sky was unable to stop the Dao of One Heavens. Chu Yi's One Word Manifestation could find any weakness. While Chu Yi might have a comparable cultivation to the Worryless Elder, in terms of experience, the latter could not compare to Chu Yi.

If they had not been held back by the Origin Progenitor, the Three Realms and Six Daos could have all become Dukkhans.

For countless years, the Spirit Nidus had enjoyed a unified cultivation method, which had allowed the megaverse to produce a number of Dukkhans. However, from the very beginning, the Tianyuan Megaverse had been targeted by the Spirit Nidus. Despite that, the Three Realms and Six Daos still had the potential to become Dukkhans, and they had only refrained from doing so because of their master.

If they had wanted to, they could have surpassed the Origin realm and entered Dukkha whenever they wished.

This was not something that the powerhouses of the Spirit Nidus could match.

If their current strength was ignored, then the only individuals in the entire Spirit Nidus who could truly compare to the Three Realms and Six Daos were Yuan Qi and the other ancient Seraphs, such as Emperor Wu.

Tremendous power surged. It spun around Lu Yin's fingertip before he pointed that one finger at the Worryless Elder.

Sequence particles appeared in front of the old man, and the power of Lu Yin's finger attack simply vanished.

Lu Yin arched a brow.

What was that?

The Worryless Elder cautiously pulled back. "You have attacked me multiple times now, and I have endured each of your attacks. I hope that you will restrain yourself. If there has been some sort of misunderstanding, we can clarify matters. If I am at fault, I will provide you with a satisfactory explanation."

"You can't talk your way out of this." Lu Yin stepped forward, moving at the speed of time.

This startled the old man. "The power of time?"

He immediately surrounded himself with more sequence particles, but as soon as he did so, the particles all dissipated.

He can’t be touched by the laws of the universe?

Lu Yin attacked the Worryless Elder with one hand as he appeared behind the old man.

The Worryless Elder whipped around, retaliating with his comprehension technique.

At the same time, sequence particles shot towards Lu Yin.

The Worryless Elder could not understand the situation. Lu Yin looked young and was clearly not an Ortuser, so how could he repel sequence particles?

Despite already failing once, the old man directed all of his sequence particles towards Lu Yin. Even if the young man could repel the laws of the universe, he should be able to do so easily.

"The Law of Stacking, right?" Lu Yin calmly asked.

The power of his finger attack had not actually disappeared, but instead been stacked.

The Worryless Elder cultivated the same sequence technique as Tian Ci: the Stacking sequence technique. The sequence particles had actually amplified the power of Lu Yin's finger, but only the master of the sequence particles could release that power now.

Essentially, while Lu Yin's attack had been strengthened, he had lost the ability to determine when the attack was unleashed.

Previously, Tian Ci had used this same sequence technique to baffle countless experts in the Tianyuan Megaverse. The Law of Stacking was regarded as a somewhat peculiar law of the universe.

The Worryless Elder was not surprised that his sequence technique was recognized. While his young opponent clearly possessed an aura that did not belong to the Spirit Nidus, his presence indicated that he had to be a conscient who had surrendered to the Spirit Nidus.

During his long years in seclusion, the Worryless Elder had not paid any attention to external affairs. Thus, he did not even consider the possibility that Lu Yin might be from the Tianyuan Megaverse.

This was also why the old man was eager to retreat. Because he believed Lu Yin to be a conscient, the Worryless Elder also believed that the young man’s most powerful ability would be his consciousness.

The old man was not confident that he could resist a powerful consciousness attack.

The Worryless Elder clapped his hands, which caused the Worryless Valley to tremble violently. The region seemed to come alive, and it pressed in upon Lu Yin from all directions.

Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "I see now—this Worryless Valley itself is your spirit weapon."

"The Worryless Valley arises, and the past fades from thought!"

Lu Yin was right, the Worryless Valley was indeed the old man’s spirit weapon. He wanted to overpower the young man with the Worryless Valley in order to buy enough time to escape. Then, the Worryless Elder intended to determine the identity of his young opponent.

However, what happened next defied belief.

The Worryless Valley started to condense in an attempt to suppress Lu Yin, but he simply raised his right fist and punched upwards and to the right.

An incomprehensible amount of strength was unleashed, and an entire corner of the Worryless Valley was instantly destroyed.

The Worryless Elder was horrified. "Impossible..."

That was the same word that countless cultivators throughout the Spirit Nidus had uttered upon witnessing Lu Yin take action. Things that should have been miracles continued to come from Lu Yin.

This physical strength had exceeded the limits of the megaverse. The Worryless Elder was confident that his Worryless Valley could at least temporarily restrain someone whose physical strength had reached the limits of the Spirit Nidus. After all, he had tested his spirit weapon on such beings before. That was why he was so confident about openly using his Worryless Valley to create an opportunity to escape against powerful enemies.

He had never expected his spirit weapon to be destroyed by a single punch from Lu Yin.
